Big Brothers Big Sisters of Atlantic & Cape May Counties, founded in 1965, currently serves over 200 children in Atlantic and Cape May Counties through our community and school based mentoring programs. Proceeds and donations from this event support our mission to create and support one-to-one mentoring relationships that ignite the power and promise of youth.
Cape May Airport was originally built in 1941 as Naval Air Station Wildwood to support U.S. Navy training during World War II. The base played a key role in preparing pilots for carrier operations and anti-submarine missions along the Atlantic coast. Over time it evolved into a public airport serving general aviation, emergency services, and aviation training, and is the home of the NASW Museum. Runners can expect a full tour of both airport runways wih iconic views of WWII history as they pass the museum! Course maps coming soon.
This event is made possible with support from the DRBA
